A manganese based catalyst for use in a metal-air electrochemical cell wherein the catalyst is made by a micelle process and a method of producing the catalyst. An electrode comprising said catalyst and method of producing the electrode. The micelle encapsulation process creates catalyst particles that are submicron and easily distributed throughout the active layer of the electrode.

1. A method of making a catalyst for use in an electrochemical cell, the method comprising:preparing a first solution comprising a first solvent, a first surfactant, and a manganese (II) salt; preparing a second solution comprising a second solvent, a second surfactant and ammonium hydroxide; admixing the first solution, the second solution and activated carbon wherein micelles are present and a precipitate is formed; and heating the precipitate at a temperature sufficient to form manganese oxide; wherein the first solvent can be the same or different from the second solvent, and the first surfactant can be the same or different from the second surfactant.
